GoDaddy accused of dragging feet on domain transfers, says there's nothing unusual going on
Users of domain registrar Namecheap who've been trying to transfer domains in from GoDaddy in the wake of its SOPA revolt in the past couple days have been running into a bit of a speed bump: Namecheap alleges in customer service emails that GoDaddy is blocking its WHOIS requests, which means it needs to "manually insert WHOIS details into the form."

Users of domain registrar Namecheap who've been trying to transfer domains in from GoDaddy in the wake of its SOPA revolt in the past couple days have been running into a bit of a speed bump: Namecheap alleges in customer service emails that GoDaddy is blocking its WHOIS requests, which means it needs to "manually insert WHOIS details into the form." In a follow-up blog post today, Namecheap also says that GoDaddy "appears to be returning incomplete WHOIS information" in violation of ICANN rules, taking the opportunity to sling a little mud in GoDaddy's direction:
It's a shame that GoDaddy feels they have to block their (former) customers from voting with their dollars. We can only guess that at GoDaddy, desperate times call for desperate measures.
It turns out that GoDaddy's move isn't new, though — it's been happening for a long time, long before SOPA entered the vernacular. Without knowing of the registrar in question (Namecheap), GoDaddy had this to say:
...it sounds like what you are describing is a standard practice used by GoDaddy, and many other registrars, to rate limit WHOIS queries to combat WHOIS abuse... It doesn't sound right that we would be non-responsive to a request to increase port 43 access from a registrar who was initiating transfer requests and reached the daily limit of WHOIS queries, even if it came in over the Christmas weekend.
From the outside, we don't know how aggressively Namecheap has been pinging GoDaddy's services — but it sounds like it's at least plausible that it was automatically shut down or throttled per a preexisting policy, which would suggest that it could be a misunderstanding on Namecheap's part.
Coincidentally, Namecheap is openly opposed to SOPA — the very legislation that got GoDaddy into hot water with many of its customers over the past week.
Update: We were just provided a statement from GoDaddy's senior director of product development, Rich Merdinger, which echoes what the company has already said — the claim is that this isn't a direct response to an elevated rate of domain transfers, and circumstantial evidence suggests that GoDaddy is correct on that point.
Namecheap posted their accusations in a blog, but to the best our of knowledge, has yet to contact Go Daddy directly, which would be common practice for situations like this. Normally, the fellow registrar would make a request for us to remove the normal rate limiting block which is a standard practice used by Go Daddy, and many other registrars, to rate limit Whois queries to combat WhoIs abuse.
Because some registrars (and other data gathering, analyzing and reporting entities) have legitimate need for heavy port 43 access, we routinely grant requests for expanded access per an SOP we've had in place for many years. Should we make contact with Namecheap, and learn they need similar access, we would treat that request similarly.
As a side note, we have seen some nefarious activity this weekend which came from non-registrar sources. But, that is not unusual for a holiday weekend, nor would it cause legitimate requests to be rejected. Nevertheless, we have now proactively removed the rate limit for Namecheap, as a courtesy, but it is important to point out, there still may be back-end IP addresses affiliated with Namecheap of which we are unaware. For complete resolution, we should be talking to each other -- an effort we are initiating since they have not done so themselves.

Allan Pinkerton— Spy Master, The Original Private Eye, and Union Buster
Allan Pinkerton in 1861 as he gained fame a Lincoln's protector and secret agent.
Allan Pinkerton, America's first detective and the founder of the security company that still bears his name was born on August 25, 1819 in Glasgow, Scotland. Admired as a hero to some, he was despised by generations of workers as a union buster and scab herder.
Pinkerton started as a class conscious working man. The son of a duty disabled policeman, he apprenticed as a cooper and participated in the Chartist movement to obtain the franchise for working men and other political reforms. Chartist "riots" were violently suppressed by troops in many cities.
Newly married and deeply disappointed by the failure to achieve the vote, Pinkerton decided to immigrate to the Canada at the age of 23 in 1842. He and his wife were shipwrecked off Nova Scotia and came ashore penniless with only the clothes on their back. A friend tipped him off to a job at a Chicago brewery. He worked at his trade there for five years before relocating to rural Dundee, Illinois nearly fifty miles northwest of the city.
He apparently wanted to go into business providing oak wood from the abundant local woodlots to the brewery but reportedly accidentally stumbled on a ring of counterfeiters, which he reported to local authorities. In those days when each bank issued their own paper notes, counterfeiting was a common crime. Several well organized gangs found the remote farmsteads of recently settled Kane and McHenry counties—good places to set up operations far away from police but close enough to the city to get their bad paper quickly into circulation.
Pinkerton began using disguises, false identities and other tricks to track down counterfeiting gangs. He was appointed a part time deputy sheriff and later began to work on contract for the banks whose notes were being counterfeited. Pinkerton thought he had found a niche and a home.
But he also supported the Underground Railway which used the rural area as a transportation path for the same reasons as it was chosen by the crooks. His known abolitionist sentiments led to a crushing electoral defeat in a run for local office.
But his daring exploits chasing counterfeiters had been picked up in the popular press. He packed up his new reputation and returned to Chicago where he hired himself out as a freelance detective. Among his customers were the Treasury Department in the pursuit of more counterfeiters and the Cook County Sheriff, who hired him to locate two girls who had been kidnapped and taken to Michigan. He found the girls and shot one of the captors, making headlines for his daring do.
The Sheriff hired him as a full time detective—the first such officer in any Illinois police agency. He also continued to take private clients on the side.
Pinkerton's "seeing eye" became one of America's first and most recognizable company logos.
In 1855 he formed his own private agency, the North-Western Police Agency, soon to become The Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Its famous logo was an All Seeing Eye with the motto "We never sleep"—thus the origin of the term private eye. Pinkerton quickly built a large operation with many operatives who were trained in surveillance and under-cover operations. He demanded his operatives keep detailed records of their cases and on all known criminals they encountered. He kept the records, including descriptions, aliases, known associates, and modes of operation of hundreds of criminals. He even became the first to use photographs to identify suspects. No other private law enforcement agency and few public ones had anything like the manpower or sophistication of Pinkerton's operations.
Among the frequent customers of the new agency were the railroads, which is how Pinkerton came the attention of a railroad lawyer and politician, named Abraham Lincoln. Pinkerton's steadfast support of the Republican Party didn't hurt either. Lincoln tapped Pinkerton to assist his personal friend and bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon for security as he made his way from Illinois to Washington for his inauguration. Pinkerton operatives uncovered a plot by Confederate sympathizers to kill Lincoln as he changed trains in Baltimore and allegedly foiled the attempt by sneaking the lanky Lincoln through town disguised as an old woman.
Pinkerton, rear and Lincoln's friend and bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon with the goatee escorted President elect Lincoln on his perilous journey by train for the 1861 inauguration.
As the Civil War erupted, Lincoln learned to his chagrin that the Army had no real intelligence service. He tapped Pinkerton to become the first head of the new Intelligence Service, forerunner of the U.S. Secret Service. Pinkerton deployed his operatives behind the lines, often disguised as Confederate soldiers and employed various tipsters. He personally went on some missions in enemy territory using the name Major E.J. Allen. He was very close to another old acquaintance from the Illinois Central Railroad, General George McClellan.
Unfortunately, Pinkerton consistently overestimated the size of opposing Confederate forces by as much two times their actual numbers. That caused the cautious McClellan to avoid battle with the main Confederate forces when possible while demanding ever more men and arms for the President. Military historians agree now that had McClellan moved his vastly larger and better equipped army more quickly and with greater determination to follow up on successes, the war could have been significantly shorter.
Pinkerton on horseback in George McClellan's headquarters provided disastrous over-estimates of Confederate numbers and strength which caused the cautious commanding general from taking decisive action.
Eventually Lincoln grew tired of both McClellan's dithering and Pinkerton's exaggerations. Pinkerton left the Service after 1862, but his agency continued to contract with the government for numerous intelligence operations through the rest of the war.
In post war years Pinkerton's agencies pursued gangs of bank and train robbers, most notoriously Missouri outlaws Frank and Jesse James. The Pinkerton Agency got a public black eye when its men threw a bomb killing a child and blowing the arm off the James boys' stepmother. After an operative who got a job working on an adjacent farm was discovered and killed, Pinkerton withdrew from the case. He considered it the biggest failure of his career.
Pinkerton range detectives like these played a bloody roll in range wars between Western cattle barons and small ranchers and homesteaders accused of rustling cattle.
Soon rapid post war industrialization led to growing labor unrest. Pinkerton, the former Chartist, had no trouble enlisting his men as strike breakers and spies against unions. One of the most famous early examples was the infiltration of the Molly McGuires, a secret organization of Irish miners in the Pennsylvania anthracite coal fields by Irish-born operative James McParland. Identities of Molly leaders and members were passed to local employers who employed vigilantes, who may or may not have included other Pinkerton men, to ambush and kill them and their families. McParland's testimony in court also led to the execution of six men and the destruction of the Molly McGuires.
Pinkerton detective James McParland infiltrated the Molly Maguires in the Pennsylvania coal fields sending several to the gallows. He had a long career with the agency and years later arranged for Big Bill Haywood and Charles Moyers of the Western Federation of Miners to be kidnapped from Colorado to stand trial in Idaho on bogus charges of planting a bomb that killed a former governor.
McParland was rewarded with rapid promotion through the company ranks and specialized in labor cases. Twenty years later he kidnapped Big Bill Haywood, Charles Moyers and other leaders of the Western Federation of Miners from Colorado and took them on a sealed train to Idaho where they were put on trial for the bombing murder of a former governor.
Pinkerton in a Harper's Weekly illustration shortly before his death.
Pinkerton died in Chicago on July 1, 1884 at the age of 64. He fell on the pavement and bit his tongue. It became infected and he died in agony.
By that time a huge amount of his company's business was anti-union activity. Company agents were involved in the gun battle with striking steelworkers during the Homestead Strike of 1891, suppressing the Pullman Strike of 1894, and in the infamous Ludlow Massacre of 1914 to list only a few of the most infamous cases.
The agency also was hired by foreign governments to suppress local radicals, most famously by Spain to work against nationalists in Cuba who included the abolition of slavery as one of their top goals.
Dashiell Hammett, the inventor of tough guy detective fiction based his character the Continental Op on his experience as a labor spy in Butte, Montana. He may have been involved in investigations that lead to the lynching of legendary IWW organizer Frank Little. The bitter experience made him a life-long radical.
Dashiell Hammett became a young Pinkerton operative before World War I and became so disillusioned by the anti-union work he was called on to do, including work that may have led up to the lynching of Industrial Workers of the Word (IWW) organizer Frank Little in Butte, Montana, that the famous creator of hard-boiled detective fiction dedicated much of the rest of his life to supporting radical causes.
In the 1930's a Senate Committee led by Wisconsin Progressive/Republican Robert M. La Follette, Jr. investigated the Pinkerton Agency for its systematic use of spies to infiltrate labor unions. To this day Pinkerton is a curse word to unionists and the company is still used to protect scabs and harass picket lines.
In 1999 the Pinkerton Agency and was acquired by the Swedish based international security firm Securitas AB. It merged with its chief rival, the William J. Burns Detective Agency, in 2001. Today it operates as an American subsidy of the Swedish firm under the name Pinkerton Consulting and Investigations. And the work goes on.

Very interesting, Pat. Why did he do his 180 from Chartist and abolitionist to essential union buster? Simple greed? Identification with his robber baron clients?

All three candidates claim they want to ensure a fair distribution of wealth in Mongolia, a remote, landlocked nation.
Recent polls suggest that President Tsakhia Elbegdorj will secure a second term to continue his policy of using foreign cash to help drive the rapid development of Mongolia's economy, which grew by 17.5 percent in 2011 and 12.3 percent last year.
The expansion has been achieved after the arrival of foreign mining giants, which have moved in to exploit huge and largely untapped reserves of coal, copper and gold, especially at the southern Oyu Tolgoi mine.
Concerns over rising inequality in the cities and environmental damage in the rural areas continue to dominate debate in the country's parliament.
Elbegdorj's main challenger is likely to be Badmaanyambuu Bat-Erdene, a champion wrestler and candidate from the Mongolian People's Party (MPP).
The third candidate, Natsag Udval, from the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP), is reportedly Mongolia's first female presidential candidate.
Udval is a supporter of former President Nambar Enkhbayar, who is serving a two-and-half year jail term on corruption charges.
Bat-Erdene helped draw up a new environmental protection law amid concerns that the country's landscape was being damaged by industry.
Both of Elbegdorj's challengers harbour policies aimed at amending Oyu Tolgoi's contract amid concerns over rampant development and inequality.
A survey carried out between June 14-16 by the Ulaanbaatar-based Sant Maral Foundation, a traditional stronghold of the ruling Democratic Party, suggested that 54 percent of Mongolians will vote for Elbegdorj.
The country held its first elections in 1992, signalling a transition to democracy that has been largely peaceful, although accusations of vote-rigging in 2008 parliamentary elections resulted in deadly riots.

Q: Adding new key/value of type string to pList I am trying to add programmatically new row to my pList file on iPhone. But I can't find out how.
I want to add key: someKey/ type: string/ someValue: string
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"MyPlist" ofType:@"plist"];

NSMutableDictionary *plist = [[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:path] mutableCopy];
NSMutableArray *newArray = [[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] autorelease];
newArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"someKey", @"someValue", nil];
[plist setObject:newArray forKey:@"someKey"];
[plist writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
[plist release];

A: You can't modify files in the application bundle, which is what your code above is attempting to do.
If the file is supposed to be modifiable, you need to move it into the documents folder first (say, on first run) and then read / write to that one subsequently. There are plenty of questions dealing with how to do this, for example : copying plist to document directory

A: You can use NSDictionary for key-value coding:
// create dictionary
NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"value" forKey:@"key"];
// add it to plist
[plist setObject:dict forKey:@"customDictionary"];

You've been given the responsibility of choosing the spring team lunch venue. Cue panic as you try to find a menu that caters for the vegetarians, the celiac, Tom with the dairy intolerance etc etc. Enter stage left: Rovi in Fitzrovia. It's a Yotam Ottolenghi creation, but unlike anything you've seen from him before. The team have paired up with local farmers to produce a vegetable-led menu, with a focus on live-fire cooking. Our #KillerDish was the epic chalkstream trout – melt-in-the-mouth fish steak served with kohlrabi, a pistachio salsa and bergamot.

Generally speaking I enjoy watching drunken fools jump onto the field during a professional game, and then eventually get leveled and carted off to jail. It's entertaining. It hasn't been until this year that I ever saw someone rush the field and act like an idiot for a cause.
If you frequent the 104.5 The Team website, then you are assuredly are familiar with the Jungle Bird, that crazy guy who interrupted Webb Simpson's U.S. Open celebration, and has since raided the field during a Notre Dame game and "cooed" his way through the Women's British Open trophy presentation. That fantastic fool is doing his part to spread awareness about deforestation. A worthy cause, no doubt. Well, now we also have Mark Harvey, who "streaked" his was onto the field last night during the Ravens v. Patriots primetime match-up. I put "streaked" in quotations because the guy technically wasn't naked, not that I would want him to be, I'm just saying. Anyway, Harvey, who was able to allude security for quite a long time, apparently is using is boldly irresponsible decision making to spread the word about bullying. Harvey painted his body in large lettering which said something along the lines of "don't be a bully, be a hero," a message that I hope resonated with whomever he shared a cell with last night.
If you want to check out Harvey's website, you can find it here. There you will find the true message behind his madness, and some slightly uncomfortable ramblings about him being a super hero. Enjoy.

On Gorsuch decision, Casey put people before politics
DESPITE HIS TENUOUS POLITICAL position as a Democrat facing reelection in a state won by Republican President Donald Trump, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey chose his constituents over threats from a well-funded opposition.
In announcing his intention to vote no on the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, Casey listened to constituents like myself who asked him to vote against Gorsuch—a judge with a penchant for putting corporations before people.
In an age when too many politicians value their own interests more than the constituents they represent, Casey chose the people over himself. For that, he has earned my respect.
Still, announcing his intention to vote against Gorsuch's nomination is politically dangerous, especially since a coalition of conservative groups led by the Judicial Crisis Network pledged to spend up to $10 million to help get Gorsuch confirmed.
If such a coalition could spend that kind of money to support Gorsuch, it could also spend similar money to oppose Casey. I asked the Senator why he was willing to take such a political risk.
"Politics should play no role in my duty to review an appointee to the most powerful court in the world," Casey said in an emailed response.

Briscoe's heartbreaking week ends with win
DARLINGTON, S.C. — Chase Briscoe capped a heartbreaking week by winning the Xfinity Series' return to action at Darlington Raceway on Thursday.
Briscoe was in the Darlington infield Tuesday awaiting the race's original start when he digitally joined wife, Marissa, for a 12-week exam for their expected baby. The couple heard the tragic news: There was no fetal heartbeat. "The worst news I could've heard," Briscoe posted on Instagram on Wednesday.
Still, Briscoe was in the lineup for the series' first action since March 7 due to the coronavirus pandemic, and used two strong restarts and a quick pit stop to finish on top. He got the lead out of the pits during the final caution, then pulled away from Kyle Busch and Justin Allgaier on the subsequent restart with seven laps to go for his fourth career win and second this season.
"This is the biggest day of my life after the toughest day of my life," Briscoe said.
Busch seemed to have the race in hand as he took the second stage in a dominant showing. But he was called for speeding in the pits and ordered to the back of the 39-car field.
But Busch was there to challenge Briscoe at the end, the cars touching off the final turn before Briscoe crossed the finish line in front by 0.08 seconds.
Allgaier was third, Austin Cindric fourth and Noah Gragson, the pole sitter who won the first stage, was fifth.
For Busch, it was another error that cost him a win at Darlington. In the NASCAR Cup Series race Wednesday night, he clipped Chase Elliott late to cause a spin — Elliott waited and extended his middle finger at Busch — and finished second to Joe Gibbs teammate Denny Hamlin.
Busch was satisfied with his run." I had a good showing, put on a little bit of an exciting show there at the end," he said.
Busch and Timmy Hill were in all three Darlington races. The two plan to run all four races at Charlotte, too.
After the delay Tuesday because of rain, more storms delayed the planned noon start for another 4½ hours.

ICBC to fund Eastern Rail lines project in Ghana
22 May 2012	(Last Updated May 22nd, 2012 18:30)
The Ghanaian government is expecting to secure $990m funding from the Investment and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) for repair works on the Eastern Rail lines, which include sections between Nsawam to Accra and Achimota to Tema.
China's Exim Bank is also expected to provide another $1.95bn for reconstruction works on the Nsawam to Kumasi rail lines.
Ghana Railway Development Authority (GRDA) acting chief executive officer Emmanuel Opoku told the Ghana News Agency that $500m would be taken from the $3bn Chinese loan facility for rehabilitation works on the Western Rail line.
"Currently, all three rail lines, including the western, central and eastern, are not in good shape due to bad tracks," Opoku said.
"Rehabilitation works would include mainly the tracks, bridges, signals and telecommunication systems."
Under the repair works, GRDA will upgrade all the gauges, from 10.67mm to 14.35mm, to enable it to connect Ghana to other Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) countries.
According to GRDA, the construction of the standard gauge rail tracks will enable the country to increase the speed of the trains from 57km/h to about 180km/h.
In addition, the government is also planning to extend the railway service to the northern sector and the Volta region, as the country's rail services are currently being used only by the southern sector.
"The Authority had taken into consideration issues raised by the disability associations on the need for them to import coaches, which were disability-friendly, and would work to ensure that all rehabilitation works on importation of new coaches were to their assertion."
The project is also expected to reduce traffic on the roads, as well as provide a safer means of transportation.
In March 2012, the government had secured a loan of $600m from US-based Conti Engineering and General Electric for the rehabilitation of the Western rail lines and repairs of Accra's drainage systems.
According to GRDA, about $200m of the total fund, will be used for the repair of the Western rail project.

Three-time Olympic silver medallist Lee Chong Wei's 19-year-old career has come to an end - Photogallery
Three-time Olympic silver medallist Lee Chong Wei's 19-year-old career has come to an end. The legendary badminton player called for a press conference where he announced his retirement. "I told the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) that I want to spend time with my family. For the sake of my health, it's not suitable for me to exert myself," Wei said as he wiped away his tears. From 2008 to 2012, the 36-year-old had secured the world no. 1 spot. The Malaysian badminton star decided to quit after battling against nose cancer for a year and later went through intensive treatment in Japan. At the conference, he thanked his fans for their undying support, "My decision to retire is a heavy one. I really love this sport. But it is a demanding sport. I thank all Malaysians for the past 19 years." Several Indian badminton players took to social media to praise Lee Chong Wei's illustrious career. Saina Nehwal posted a message on Twitter, she said, "Really loved ur performances for many years @LeeChongWei .. ur great badminton legend and it's very sad to know that ur retiring ... I wish u the best for future and pls take care of ur health." (All photos: Instagram)

Who left his cage open? Robbie the troll is loose and frothing at the mouth. It's probably the absence of protean in his diet; causes episodes of veracity deficit disorder such as this rant.
Unfortunately the gaggle of sycophants anxiously hanging on the troll's every word will cling to his grotesque message without question. No matter that the heads of the NSA and FBI testified before Congress that the Russians had written Trump off as a loser. And that Russian hatred of Hillary had them willing the back the devil himself to defeat her.
But, for people suffering from cranial atrophy, one suspects the troll's followers are waiting for volcanoes to emerge in downtown Manhattan or oceans to submerge Iowa's cornfields.


For those of us with truly tiny gardens, creating green and pleasant outdoor spaces is nothing if not a challenge. How do we design tiny gardens with room for both plants and people?

Found in the southwest Pacific Ocean some 1,500 kilometers east of Australia, New Zealand offers visitors vast expanses of untouched natural landscapes as well as modern and fresh cities. It's this combination that entices 2.4 million international tourists to plan a New Zealand trip year after year.
The country is formed of two major islands and a number of smaller islands. The North Island is home to New Zealand's capital city, Wellington, as well as its largest city, Auckland. This island was created by volcanic activity, and features a number of active and dormant volcanoes.
The South Island includes the cities of Christchurch and Dunedin, and generally is more mountainous than its northern counterpart. Both islands have plenty on offer when it comes to tourism. A popular attraction on the North Island is Auckland's Sky Tower, which stands nearly 1,100-feet high and offers some truly stunning views.
Speaking of stunning views, Tongariro National Park – which was New Zealand's first national park – is the perfect destination for those wishing to witness some of the North Island's most spectacular natural views.
Picturesque scenery is by no means exclusive to the North Island either. The Abel Tasman National Park on the South Island has its own stake to offering the best vistas in the country. The park prohibits cars and is only accessible by plane or boat, adding a feeling of privacy to any hike.
Other popular natural attraction on the South Island is the Franz Josef Glacier, in the Westland Tai Poutini National Park, and the Milford Sound, located in the Fiordland National Park.
Finally, in recent years New Zealand's tourist industry has experience a boost as a result of the movie versions of 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' being filmed here. Many visitors subsequently ensure that a tour of locations used in these films – including Matamata on the North Island which still has the Hobbit set available to visit – is added to their New Zealand trip plan.

Hello; I'm just getting to update some posts now. But here are some. Enjoy.
I have been thrilled with the results that people in our group have been creating. It is amazing the effect of the images, but also, the bond it creates when we respond to anothers image. The images are not in isolation - but connected. It is really neat.
Vicky says: In brief, this image is, on the surface, about growth. The intention was to pursue the concepts of freedom and containment. The use of a contour drawing allows for fluid play with the colours within each section. However, the spaces were fairly small and the brush not holding enough water. What should have been a calming experience became frustrating as I realized that my fine hand coordination has diminished significantly since I last painted in watercolours. The end result still pleases me and brings back memories of mindfulness practices with my watercolour instructor years ago. I enjoy the contrast created by keeping the background white.
Laura F. says: This is a mandala, using a "wet on wet" watercolour approach. It is a very loose approach that allows the colour to flow and take on a bit of a life of it's own…I found it to be a calming meditative aproach, a way to learn to trust the process.
I responded to Vicky's image of the Bromeliad. Her mention of growth and change made me think of a theme in my current development. The idea of Beauty growing, miraculously, from the old. Hence the beauty of muschrooms, moss and flowers the pop up from the old stump, bringing a spark of brightness to the forest floor. There is beauty and growth, even in all of us.

Guess Why Trump Nearly Sued 'Sharknado 3′ + NASA Is Hiring an Alien Protector: Pop Bits

Imagine a universe in which Donald Trump was merely a fictional president, as we sort through this afternoon's Pop Bits:
Donald Trump Almost Sued 'Sharknado 3' Producers for Rescinding His Job Offer: Trump would have played -- you guessed it -- the president of the United States. It's too bad, really. Maybe if he'd gotten that part, he would've been too busy to run for actual president and the world wouldn't have spun off its axis into this dystopian pseudo-reality we must endure for three-and-a-half more years (at least).
NASA Posted a Job Opening for a 'Planetary Protection Officer': Would you like to make six figures protecting Earth from alien invaders? If so, you would be "responsible for the leadership of NASA's planetary protection capability, maintenance of planetary protection policies, and oversight of their implementation by NASAs space flight missions." Also, "frequent travel may be required." Yeah, SPACE TRAVEL.
Watch Coldplay Perform Linkin Park's 'Crawling' in Honor of Chester Bennington: Chris Martin played a solo piano version of Linkin Park's second hit single. Martin even messed up the beginning then had to start over, saying he "wanted to get it right since it would likely end up on YouTube." He was right. It did end up there!
How to Clean Out Your Gmail Account and Start From Scratch: Are you one of those people with thousands of "unread" messages in your inbox? Do you receive tons of unsolicited messages every day? Do you have trouble searching for a particular message from a while back? Maybe it's time to clear everything out and start over.
Couple Who Met as Jeopardy Contestants Gets Married: "Alex, We'll Take 'To Have and to Hold' for $1,000." Maryanne Lewell and Michael Townes met in 2013 while trying out for the long-running TV quiz show. Both made it to the quarterfinals of the Teachers Tournament, but never actually faced each other. Presumably they'll be arguing over who would've won for the next several decades.
Michael Jordan Ranks Kobe Bryant Over LeBron James for a Dumb Reason: Kobe won five NBA championships in his career, and so far LeBron has won "only" three -- therefore Kobe is better, as Jordan explained to some kid who asked. Hmmm, nine players have won more than Jordan's six titles, so by MJ's own logic he's merely the 10th-best player of all time then, right?
